Galaxy Community Conference 2016 (GCC16)

This session will walk developers and bioinformaticians through the process of taking a working script or application and turning it into a Galaxy tool. It will also cover the basics of using Planemo: a command-line utility to assist in building and publishing Galaxy tools. We will investigate wrapping, common parameters, tool linting, best practices, loading tools into Galaxy, citations, and publishing tools to Github and the Galaxy Tool Shed. Common tips and tricks will be discussed as well as insights from experienced tool developers.

Prerequisites

• A general knowledge of Galaxy (for example, you should be familiar with the material in Galaxy 101 or have attended Introduction to Galaxy).
• Knowledge and comfort with the Unix/Linux command line interface and a text editor. If you don't know what cd, mv, rm, mkdir, chmod, grep and so on can do then you will struggle in this workshop.
• A wi-fi enabled laptop with a modern web browser.  Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari will work best.
